Saturday, October 4th. On the schedule it says "League Meet in Sterling". How can it be League already????
The 'Dogs are banged up a bit, but you can't stop this team. We'll give it our best shot today and see what happens.
It's a bit cool at 9am as we get off the bus, set up camp and start warming up. We know the course today and we're looking forward to getting started. Today will be a good test. The guys are first. The weather is perfect. Here we go!

The guys have a good race. Some of the young guys are really learning how to step it up! Sam has his best day of the season and Blake & Ethan are not far behind.
Now the girls get to roll. The weather is still holding up nicely. It's cool, but not cold. It's a very slight breeze - just enough to feel good out here before we go.

The ladies do well also - 3 of us get PR's today on a relatively slow course. That's pretty cool!
The Bulldogs head over for the awards, knowing we've done well today. We find out that the Boys team finished 3rd overall and the Girls team did also. On the Boys side, Sam had his best finish of the season by leading over half of the race and coming in 5th overall! Daniel followed closely with a 9th place finish to give us two All-Conference runners. On the Girls side, Jenna ran hard & tough to finish 2nd overall. Jessica was just behind, coming in with her best race to finish 5th overall. Morgan PR's by almost a minute better than her Liberty Bell time! Well done, ladies!
Next up is Tuesday, October 6th. This will be our 'home' meet - the 2 Mile Break Your Pace run at UH. You're invited!

Cool fact of the day: As we're leaving the awards assembly, a small group of competitors is watching the 'Dogs celebrate their medal-winning teammates and team score. One of them is heard to say "I just love the University kids. They always cheer so well for each other." The others nod & agree, then they move on.
What a great testament to the T*E*A*M spirit the Bulldogs have!
And now - some Bonus photos by Mr. Slack! Enjoy!
